Previously on Waiting in Vain…

Putting her head in the palm of here hand as she let the weariness take its toll; Ziva is engulf in darkness…

Tony had been watching Ziva the entire time, and had raced to catch Ziva before she hits the floor. Tony could only look at his broken partner as he clenches his fist he had to take Gibbs back…

A man puts the phone down, smirking as he recalls the conversation with Mrs. Gibbs. Looking at the man currently tied to a chair; face bloodied and his body battered and bruised. He cannot help but feel a sense on content.

"She would come soon and she would be with me"

The man had struggled in his seat; his piercing blue eyes filled with utmost contempt.

The man lets out a howl of laughter,

"What can you do now Gibbs?" he asked his voice taunting him

"You are nothing but an invalid now, soon you would meet your maker; but not before you see with your very own eyes that she is with me".

He gave a sinister laugh as he hits Gibbs repeatedly, hearing him grunt in response to his ministrations; he stopped this is no fun not till he can hear him scream.

Maybe he should bring her over; then he can torture her just to see HIS reaction.

With that plan in his mind he went out in search for his prey…

They will suffer by his hands and after that he will have her…

Tony had taken Ziva home; after her collapse he had made sure that she could rest.

He had helped her to bed; Tony knew Ziva was not herself for she had allowed him to take the lead. He has so many questions but this is not the time. She needs to rest.

Watching her sleep, Tony cannot help but feel powerless; he still cannot find where Gibbs is and now Ziva is falling apart and he cannot do anything about it. He needs to gather his thoughts.

Locking the door behind him he walks towards the Navy Yard…

A dark shadow can be seen by Ziva's window smiling at the sleeping figure…

"It is time for us to be together"
